RJING FOR, DISSEMNATING PFUMES, &0.

To all whom t may concern.:

lBe it known that l, WILLIAM H. H. GRIE- riN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Goree, in the county of Knox and State of Texas,have invented new and useful llinprovements in Rings for DisseminatingPerfumes, &c., of which the following is a speci.- fication.

This invention relates to an improved device for disseminatingchemicals, perfumes and the like, said device being in the nature of aring which may be worn on either linger, toe, arm or any part of thebody and which constitutes a container for the material to bedisseminated.

A further object of the invention is to produce a ring of the characterdescribed constituting a container and having an outlet opening oropenings which are normally obstructed to some extent by contact withthe member on which it is worn so that the escape of the materialcontained will be slow and gradual.

With these and other ends in view which willreadily appear as the natureof the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improvedconstruction and novel arrangement and combinationv of parts which willbe hereinafter fully described' and particularly pointed out in theclaims. In'the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple andpreferred form of the invention, it

eing, however, understood that no limitation is vnecessarily made to therecise structural details therein exhibited, liut that changes,alterations and modifications within the scope of the claims may beresorted to when desired.

`In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a lring constructedin accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, but illustrating a slightmodification.

Fig. 5 is a erspective view illustrating a further modi cation.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line '6-6 in Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a-perspective view illustrating a still further modication. K

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by likecharacters of reference.

may be of tubular material of any kind so as to form within said ring acircumferential recess 16 communicating with a hopper-shaped inlet 17having a detachable tightly fitting capf cover, screw or stopper 18which may be ornamented in any desired way by a gem setting or the like.rlFhe inner Wall of the tubular ring is provided with a small opening oropenings 1.9 which are directed toward the center of the ring so thatwhen the latter is placed on the body or any member .thereof saidopening or openings will be partly obstructed by contact with suchmember. The circumferential space 16, as well as the inletI hopper 17,may be filled with any desired chemical or perfume which will bepermitted to escape slowly and gradually, being thus applied directly tothe person of the wearer. ln this manner perfumes and various potenthealing chemicals may be advantageously disseminated and applied withoutinconvenience.

'l Under the slightly modified construction ratentea ret.. ae.

of a attened tube 30, it being desired to be y understood that nolimitation whatever vis made to the particular shape of the tubularreceptacle. In Figs. 5, 6 and 7 the hoppershaped inlet is omitted, and asimple inlet aperture 31 is provided in the exterior wall o the tube,said inlet being closed in Figs.

' 5 and 6 by a screw plug 32, and in Fig. 7

means of solder, as indicated at 33. The inner wall of the tube is -ineach instance provided with one or more escape apertures, asindicated at34.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawing, itwill be seen that l have produced a simple and ecient device fordisseminating perfumes and chemicals which may be worn as an article ofpersonal adornment, it being obvious that its use is not limited to thatof a linger ring, but it may be suciently large to serve'as a braceletand for other purposes.

Y limitation is made with respect to the spe- Y the inner face of thering, and especially f cific construction of the ring formed receptacle.Likewise, no limitation is made'with respect to the construction of theinlet, the means for obstructing the same or to the number ordisposition of the outlet. apertures. It is to be understood, however,that where the o utlet apertures are formed, must be preferably smoothand polished it being important in the formation of the outlet aperturesto avoid the formation of any fins or projections that would tend toabrade or to irritate the skin of the wearer.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

'IL A finger ring for disseminating perfumes and the like, the samehaving a cavitv. a smooth inner face to contact with newness the wearer,an inlet and a discharge opening connecting the cavity with the smoothinner face, said opening tobe obstructed by contact with the wearer.

2. A finger ring for disseminating perfumes and the like, the samehaving a cavity, a smooth inner face to contact with the wearer, adischarge opening connecting the cavity with the smooth inner face, saidopening tio be obstructed by contactwith the wearer, a hopper shapedinlet communicating with the cavity and a tightly fitting detachableornamental closure for said inlet.

In testimon whereof I aix my signature in presence o two witnesses.
